Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for determining the concentration of an analyte in a physiological sample are provided. The subject apparatuses include at least one light source, a detector array, means for determining whether a sufficient amount of sample is present on each of the plurality of different areas, and means for determining the concentration of the analyte based on the reflected light detected from those areas determined to have sufficient sample, where areas having insufficient sample are not used in analyte concentration determination. The subject methods include illuminating each area of a test strip, obtaining reflectance from each of the different areas, determining which areas have sufficient sample based on detected light therefrom and deriving analyte concentration from the areas determined to have sufficient sample, where areas determined not to have sufficient sample are not used in the derivation. Also provided are kits for use in practicing the subject methods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for transmitting data in the form of at least one sequence Tsg of Ns pulses, each pulse being enclosed within a predetermined time chip Tc. <??>The method according to the invention includes at least one symbol encoding step, in the course of which each pulse pj (for j=1 to Ns) of an ith pulse sequence Tsg is multiplied by a value Vi representative of a symbol to be carried by said sequence. <??>By virtue of the invention, the information carried by the pulse sequence Tsg will essentially be represented by the power carried by this sequence Tsg, which power is related to the amplitude of the pulses pj. This information may then be recovered by a receiver without said receiver having to map precisely, with respect to time, the received pulse sequences. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an ultrasound imaging system for forming an echographic image of a medium, which system includes a set [REC] of transducer elements [EL] which are operative in a transmission mode and in a reception mode for ultrasound waves, construction means [REB] for constructing echographic signals on the basis of signals [S[ 1 ] . . . S[N]] received on the transducer elements [EL], display means [DIS] which are coupled to the construction means [REB] in order to display an image of the medium formed by means of the echographic signals. The construction means [REB] are such that in so-called exclusion zones, in which a coherent reflector is detected and which are determined by determination means [DET], the reception delays [D] are estimated in a manner [INT] other than that [CORR] used for the other zones. The calculation [CAL] of echographic signals is then carried out on the basis of the estimated delays [D[Z],Di[Z}}. The invention enables a correction of phase aberrations and nevertheless offers an excellent lateral resolution, notably in the case of point coherent reflectors.

Abstract: A device, including a heat exchanger plate and a plate package (2) of heat exchanger plates (1) which are provided beside each other to form a plate interspace between adjacent plates. The plate interspaces form, in an alternating order, first passages (3) for a first medium and second passages (4) for a second medium which cools the first medium. Each heat exchanger plate has at least two portholes forming a first inlet port channel and a first outlet port channel (7), which extend through the plate package to a first inlet and a first outlet, respectively, for the first medium to and from the first passages (3). The first outlet forms a gas outlet (31) for discharging a gaseous portion of the first medium and a liquid outlet (32) for discharging of a liquid portion of the first medium. The liquid outlet (32) is separated from the gas outlet (31) to permit separate discharge of the liquid and gaseous portions.
